Car scrapping and payment of scrapping premium

 When you own a car and want to scrap it, you can get a scrapping premium of DKK 2,200 if you are the last registered owner.

Money for your old car

Scrapping reimbursement, more widely known as scrapping premium is a scheme applying to passenger vehicles (M1) for no more than 9 persons incl. the driver, and small trucks (N1) not exceeding 3,500 kg. When you take in your car for scrapping and environmental treatment with an environmentally approved car breaker you are entitled to a tax free scrapping premium of DKK 2,200. If you cannot drive your car to the car breaker, you can have it picked up. Do remember to ask the car breaker if this service will be charged.

You are entitled to deliver your car to car breakers and importers free of charge. In addition and without any charges, the car breaker must help you complete your electronic certificate of destruction in the Digital disbursement system (DUS), so you can retrieve your scrapping premium.

If, however, you need more assistance, for instance for taking back the license plate, the car breaker can charge an administration fee for this additional work.



Car scrapping – How it is done

  1. Go to Borger.dk or Virk.dk
    If your car is registered under your CPR number, go to Borger.dk. If your car is registered under a company CVR number, go to Virk.dk. You may search for “skrotpræmie” (scrapping premium) and go to the self-service solution DUS (Digital disbursement system).


  2. Search out the car
    Click start and have your private NemID or your business’s NemID at hand. Search out and select the car by its registration number (license plate) and select a car breaker from the list. Exempt from NemID? Find more information below.

  3. Approval
    Save and approve the scrapping request and click finish. Now wait for the car breaker to accept his part of the digital system.

  4. How do I take in the car?
    Meanwhile, you can contact the car breaker and agree with him when to take in the car or whether it should be picked up.

  5. De-register the car
    Also agree with the car breaker whether he de-registers the car, or if you should do it yourself. Most car breakers offer to handle all practical matters with de-registration in the Danish motor vehicles register.

  6. Certificate of destruction
    Keep an eye on your electronic mailbox (e-Boks). Once the car has been scrapped, a certificate of destruction is sent to your e-Boks. If you are exempt from digital mail, you will be notified by an ordinary letter.

  7. Payment of scrapping premium
    We will pay your scrapping premium of DKK 2,200 to your NemKonto (your official bank account) no later than two weeks after scrapping of the car and reception of your certificate of destruction. The certificate is sent to your digital mailbox, or alternatively as an ordinary letter.

The scrapping premium is paid if you comply with the following criteria:
  • Registered owner
    1. You must be the last registered owner of the car. This means that it is your CPR number and the car’s registration number that is found in the Danish motor vehicles register. You may check your registration certificate. If you are not the last registered owner of the car you may in very specific cases apply for an exemption through the digital system.
      • Car is de-registered
        Your car must be de-registered from the Danish motor vehicles register after 30 June 2000.

      • Car is delivered to approved car breaker
        Your car must be picked up or delivered to a car breaker approved by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency. Dealers and repair shops can agree with approved car breakers to be points of delivery and Skrotpræmie.


      • Car must not be exported
        Your car must not be exported later. This means that it must not be registered in another country after de-registration in the Danish motor vehicles register, and you must not have claimed refund of registration fee.
